Step 1
The reaction of a ketone with excess methanol in the presence of an acid catalyst (H2SO4) will form a ketal. The reaction involves two equivalents of methanol adding to the carbonyl carbon, with the elimination of water. Show more…

1. Reagents. Give the structures of the major products (A–H) expected from the following reactions. Be sure to indicate product stereochemistries. Assume that standard aqueous workup conditions are used for product isolation.
Adi S.
Predict the major organic product(s) Draw the structure of the major organic product expected for each reaction below: If more than one stereoisomer is expected in equal concentration as the major product, draw all structures (for example, do not abbreviate by writing enantiomer or anything similar). Pay CLOSE attention to stereochemistry and clearly indicate the proper stereochemistry in your answers! H2SO4 CH3OH CH3 H2 Pd/C H2C Br2 H2C CH2Cl2 H-Br CH3
